Elephants, commonly known as elephants, are the largest mammals on land. They belong to the order Long Nose. There are only one family, two genera and three species, namely Elephantidae, African elephants and Asian elephants.
It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the tropical and subtropical areas along the border between Southeast Asia and southern China.
Elephants are the largest land-dwelling, social mammals in the world, usually in families. Elephants have thick skin, but thin skin between folds, so they often use earth baths to prevent mosquitoes from biting. Ivory is an important weapon to defend the enemy.
Elephant ancestors appeared on Earth tens of millions of years ago. The Elephant Family was once one of the most dominant animal groups on earth, and more than 400 fossils have been found. However, due to historical climate and man-made reasons, the species of this group is becoming fewer and fewer.
At present, there are only two genera and three species of elephants on the earth: Asian elephants, African grassland elephants and African forest elephants, and they are also under serious threat.
象，通称大象，是目前陆地上最大的哺乳动物，属于长鼻目，只有一科两属三种，即象科（学名：Elephantidae），非洲象属和亚洲象属。广泛分布在非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南和南亚及东南亚以至中国南部边境的热带及亚热带地区。
大象是现存世界上最大的陆地栖息群居性哺乳动物，通常以家族为单位活动。大象的皮层很厚，但皮层褶皱间的皮肤很薄，因此常用泥土浴的方式防止蚊虫叮咬。象牙是防御敌人的重要武器。
大象的祖先在几千万年前就出现在地球上。大象家族曾是地球上最占优势的动物类群之一，目前已发现400余种化石。但由于历史上气候和人为原因，导致这个族群的种类越来越少。目前地球上大象仅剩下2属3种：亚洲象、非洲草原象、非洲森林象，且它们也正受到严重的威胁。
